G. Theaker. (Macmillan and Co. 5s. net.) Bimbi and Other Stories. By " Ouida" (Louisa de In Hamee). With Illustrations in Colour by Maria L. Kirk (Chatto and Winans. 5s. net), some of them being in the Hans Andersen style, as where the adventures of Lampblack, a neglected tin tube in an artist's lsox of colours, are told. The illustrations are good. —The Rea Men of the Dusk. By John Finnemore. (A. and C. Black. 3s. 6d. net.)—A new edition of a tale first published in 1899. The time is 1660 and the scene the Welsh Border.—The Book of the Little Past. By Josephine Preston Peabody. (Longmans and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)—" Poems of Child Life "—of a very romantic cast— which have appeared before in the volume Singing Leaves, or in Harper's Monthly Magazine.—The Magic Fi.shbone. By Charles Dickens. (James Nisbet and Co. ls. net.)—This was first pub- lished in America in 1867, with three other Christmas stories. Miss B. Beatrice Pearse has illustrated them in a very suitable way. Dickens, we are told, received £1,000 for the four. If the others wore of the same length this works out at £10 per page of two hundred words.
